I think the 6.1 figure is for the search and rescue vehicle LM wants to use this airframe for. They'll be competing for that contract as well. That contract makes a little more sense than the Marine Corp 1 contract. Anyway this contract will impact the local economy greatly and maybe bring home some of the technical folks who fled the area when IBM and Link started hemoraging.
